The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Commerce de Marseille and Bonhomme Richard are the only other two I have come across, but paint jobs did change from year to year so it is hard to say with any certainty. Even paintings of the Trinidad vary. Some show it as depicted by my ship will be when finished. Some have a blue decorated stern, and some show it all gilded. The black strip I am giving mine often has a white border in several depictions. If any other shipmates have examples of reddish ships please feel free to chip in here.
